AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[tajoh111]

I still say that we must wait for the 10.12 drivers, hope Im not mad xD

That guy appears to have a retail sample. I doubt he's a reviewer. If AMD didn't provide working drivers for the retail samples in the box, that's total fail.

As he had a gtx 480 before, I doubt he had those old driver in and just popped a new card in over the gtx drivers.

If AMD is not including working drivers in the box then AMD has reached a whole new level of stupidity to try to maintain secrecy. This is one or two week's before and NV couldn't respond if they wanted to. As someone else said, it takes months to change speeds on a cards.

Hopefully this is not the case and people do not need to download drivers to get the real performance out of a 6970. Because we know a lot of people just buy out of the box and don't bother to update.

If this is what the card performs like with broken drivers(we can extrapolate alot from crysis and vantage), then there is no wonder there was a delay. It could also explain why such old drivers were put into the box. They needed to work hardcore hard to get faster drivers and delayed it till mid december.
